Come As You Are

NOTE

** Understanding desire - recap of the four points **

Spontaneous desire emerges in anticipation of pleasure while responsive desire emerges in response to pleasure./nBoth types of desire are normal and most people experience both at different times in their lives./nResponsive desire is more reliably associated with a satisfying sex life in a long-term relationship./nJudging your experience of responsive desire as inferior or abnormal can make it more difficult to want or like sex./nEmbracing responsive desire creates an opportunity to enjoy creating a context that makes it easy to feel pleasure and desire will follow.
